Brendan Fraser is one of the most iconic and versatile actors out there who was wronged by several people in Hollywood. With his career down the drain, the actor made a grandiose comeback when he starred in the 2022 film The Whale.
But before all that, the actor was known around the world for starring in the iconic The Mummy franchise. Alongside the film, the actor also starred with Elizabeth Hurley in the 2000 film Bedazled. And Elizabeth Hurley is dying to work with Brendan Fraser again.
Elizabeth Hurley Is Dying To Work Alongside Brendan Fraser Once Again
In the 2000 film, Brendan Fraser portrayed the role of an introverted shy man who is helped by The Devil in exchange for his soul. The rom-com was also a special one since Fraser had his newly found fame by his side for starring as Rick O’Connell in the 1999 movie The Mummy.
Being one of the nicest actors out there, it is no wonder that his co-star Elizabeth Hurley, who portrayed the role of The Devil wants to work with him again. Gushing over the 54-year-old actor, Hurley stated in an interview with People that she and Fraser lost contact after the film but he was one of the nicest co-stars that she had the privilege of working with.
“I would love to work with Brendan again. He was one of my favorite costars. Brendan and I got on so fantastically when we shot ‘Bedazzled’ and then didn’t speak. We didn’t speak at all until I got invited to this screening of ‘The Whale.’ And I was so excited that I’d see Brendan again.”
The Austin Powers actress didn’t stop there as she professed her love for Brendan Fraser by commenting on how happy she was that Fraser got the opportunity to shine again.

“I just was so bowled over by how fabulous he is in this movie. And Brendan is one of the nicest human beings you could ever meet, and I’m just so happy for him that he’s just had this opportunity to shine again. And it was wonderful meeting up with him. It’s been 20 years since I tortured him in ‘Bedazzled.’ I loved [‘The Whale’] and I love him,”
